Norman Mailer
Naked and the Dead
Many things are said about Mailer and I certainly would not be one to defend him. But from experience his Naked and the Dead deftly captured certain of the macabre, at times, emotions of the front line. The attitude, if you will, against the hierarchy.

I paid my dues. Now I have the problems of a hundred working men and women, and my government is trying to screw them over every day.
So presumably there are women with less problems than you so you can get laid. Just sayn'
